Many families live in Sharjah and work in Dubai. The baby’s health file still follows the hospital where the child was born, not the office.
If you gave birth in Dubai and live in Sharjah, you will hold a DHA certificate and drive home across a border every night. If you gave birth in Sharjah, do not start at a DHA counter. Ask the hospital which authority holds the notification, and file the visa through ICP under the sponsor.

How long do I have to get a residence visa for a baby born in Dubai?
Plan around 120 days from the birth, then read the current schedule on ICP and GDRFA. Confirm the date on the portal. Check the official notice.
Do I hire a nanny or a maid in Dubai, and where is that actually filed?
A maid and a nanny are not the same job, and a WhatsApp CV is not a visa. Domestic workers are recruited through licensed Tadbeer centres.
